What factors made you choose to study photojournalism at Point Park?

The hands-on approach appealed to me and I was very impressed with the newsroom atmosphere. I liked the small class sizes offered and personal relationships I was able to build with my instructors. The urban campus offered me so many opportunities to network with media professionals and build a competitive portfolio.

What advice do you have for photojournalism and photography students?

Learn as many visual media as possible to give yourself an edge. I recommend that photography students take business classes to prepare for work as a freelance photography business owner. Also, learn as many computer languages as possible like HTML, Java or Ruby. These skills are extremely valuable in the modern newsroom.
